Couldn’t you have just one of your stories about the Nobel Peace Prize celebrate the actual Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado only? No, you force the whiny loser into every one and make him the headline. For shame.

New statement from AG James:

"This is nothing more than a continuation of the president's desperate weaponization of our justice system.

"I am not fearful — I am fearless."

Exactly. And Sinema 2.0 is a perfect comparison.

I had already written off Porter. Her whiteboard is her only accomplishment. She stupidly walked out on a risky purple House district for a Senate run we all knew Schiff would win. She’s not Governor material, especially in these times and after Newsom. Big no to Porter for me.

I was an #LATACO member before this evil administration came to power. I can’t articulate just how vital you and your work have become to me and so many in LA, and elsewhere too. Thank you @eltragon.bsky.social @lataco.bsky.social for all you do.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

What's important is to understand the cumulative effect of it all. To not just see today's outrage.

See the silencing of Kimmel, the arrest of Comey, the harassment of Soros, the troops in our cities, the seizure of spending power, as all part of a plan to end our democracy.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Breaking: we’ve secured a court order BLOCKING Trump’s unlawful deployment of the California National Guard in Portland.

This fight isn’t over, but today’s rebuke of the President’s illegal actions is a step in the right direction.

The National Guard is not President Trump’s personal police force.

Gov Newsom and I are joining AG Rayfield’s lawsuit to block the unlawful deployment of the California National Guard to Oregon.

Time and time again, President Trump has shown a clear disregard for the law and the facts on the ground in his efforts to militarize American cities.
